For LesThePress - Mexican places around West Valley

Was just reading your post on the Not About Food board and wanted to make a couple of recommendations for some Mexican restaurants we like. (We tried Sierra's and didn't go back.)

In Chatsworth, 2 blocks past Topanga Canyon on Devonshire is Los Toros. For more information and their menu, try www.lostoros.com - enchiladas and chicken hard tacos are my favorites (chips are served with salsa and a warm bean dip just to warn you.)

In Agoura Hills (located in the Vons/Sav-on shopping center on the SW corner of Kanan Rd. and Thousand Oaks Blvd.), we keep going back to:

Service is great. Drink refills and chip/salsa refills are prompt, and menu recommendations have always been on target. Even brought me a sample of a soup so I could try it before getting the whole bowl.

When we lived on the Westside, we often frequented Gilbert's for their very cheap breakfasts. I think I'm among the minority on this board who like La Serenata Gourmet. I won't eat at the El Cholo in Santa Monica, but made the trek to the original location on Western often enough (even from the Valley.) I'm also a fan of Paco's Tacos in Westchester for what it's worth.

Coffee and prime rib seem like unlikely partners, but Ryan Farr's recipe reveals they both have an earthy quality that makes them a natural match. Just be sure to scrape off any excess coffee rub from the meat before serving.
